The nexus between Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Development Goals: A review

Abstract

This article focuses on the link between Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Development Goals and, more precisely, how the former can be applied to achieve the latter. The solution to SDG-related issues may be one goal of AI applicability. There have been suggestions that the current status of artificial intelligence (AI) might serve hundreds of millions of people in both rich and developing countries by helping to resolve problems related to all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Examples include helping those who are blind or visually handicapped navigate their environment, detecting victims of sexual exploitation online, supporting relief operations in the event of a disaster, helping to detect diabetes early, and using image scanning to diagnose skin cancer. These are but a few examples of how AI works and how AI innovation can be advantageous. It also reviews how Artificial Intelligence can be applied to protect the environment, food production, the energy industry, and healthcare development.
